The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of green orchard fruit, nutmeg, mandarin and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's layered and textural, with a fleshy core, lively acids and good length on the finish.

Monnot's 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is a success, offering up aromas of ripe lemons, citrus oil, honeycomb and a deft touch of new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and nicely concentrated, with a deep, layered core and a compelling sense of completeness. While it will drink well young, this has the substance to evolve in bottle.

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has a straightforward bouquet that opens nicely in the glass with scents of yellow flower, hazelnut and a mote of chalk dust. The palate is well balanced with a fresh, quite tensile entry. There is a good line of acidity here, focused and poised with just the right amount of salinity on the finish. This comes recommended.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes has a lightly honeyed bouquet that needed a little coaxing from the glass. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry and appears quite effervescent, offering notes of orange zest, brown spices and green apple, gently building to a lively finish that just needs more aftertaste to come through. Hopefully that will develop by the time it is in bottle.

The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes, which I tasted from a bottle closed under DIAM, was reticent at first, but gradually reveals scents of melted butter and almond, demonstrating good intensity. The palate is very well balanced, lightly spiced with citrus fruit, white peach, walnut and nectarine as it fans out with a sense of confidence on the pithy finish. This is a really well-crafted white Burgundy from Xavier Monnot, destined to give pleasure over the next 10-12 years.
